The paper proves equivalence between big-step and small-step derivations for Horn clauses and transforms Horn clauses into equivalent sets of clauses based on the given derivation strategy.

This paper explores using Knowledge Components (KCs) as interpretable signals to understand assignment difficulty and student struggle in intro programming courses.

The paper introduces CodeGolf Bench, a novel multi-language benchmark using code golf to measure LLMs' ability to generate highly concise and efficient code, showing that reasoning models significantl…

The paper proposes Fuzzy-Function Programming and introduces Program-as-Weights (PAW), a compact, locally-executable neural artifact for everyday programming tasks.

This paper measures the lower bound for the shortest program generating a sequence, proving a conservation law and providing a deterministic engine to recover generating programs for certain sequences…

The paper introduces Grid Programs, a novel, Turing-complete model of computation where programs are two-dimensional arrangements of instructions, fundamentally departing from linear code structures.

KoAT is a tool that automatically infers complexity bounds and proves termination of integer programs using an alternating modular analysis approach and a portfolio of techniques.

SEMBridge is a tagless-final framework that allows a single executable object program to generate multiple program semantics, including weakest-precondition and bounded-checking interpretations, ensur…

The paper proposes a generic memory framework for advanced static program analysis, supporting various memory behaviors from different programming languages using Abstract Interpretation theory.

The paper introduces Clover, a code completion tool that logs students' interactions and offers attention checks to promote reflective engagement during programming tasks.

This survey analyzed 132 web application security tutorials, finding that most lack concrete implementation details and recommending that the presence of runnable code and links to official resources…

The paper proposes a flexible meta-programming framework to declaratively operationalize and explore varied temporal logics, such as TEL, MEL, and DEL, within standard Answer Set Programming systems.

This paper introduces ASE-26, a comprehensive undergraduate curriculum designed to formalize and teach agentic software engineering as a distinct academic discipline.

This paper compares different approaches for embedding source code in machine learning models for learning analytics in programming education, specifically for the visual block-based programming langu…

The paper proposes integrating dependent pattern matching into the unification process in dependently typed languages to synthesize functions defined by case analysis, addressing the limitation of exi…

This paper proposes using offline reinforcement learning (RL) as an efficient alternative to online RL for post-training code-generating LLMs, demonstrating its effectiveness, especially for smaller m…

This paper explores the use of GPT-4o in game development using a Python/Pygame endless runner, examining refactoring and gameplay feature generation tasks.
